Pneumatic Diverger - Orienting Products from 2 Lanes to 4 Lanes

The pneumatically-actuated Product Diverger can accept two lanes of product and automatically diverge them into four lanes using a pneumatically-actuated system. This is typically used upstream of a spiral freezer to present product across the full width of the freezer conveyor. A programmable controller is used to sweep every other row of product from two middle lanes into two outer lanes. Sensors mounted upstream of the diverger time the sweep to ensure accuracy. A fixed side guide is used on the outer lanes to ensure the product is positioned properly.
